I have a complicated windowed running total I'm trying to calculate. I've made an excel example that I'd like to implement in powerquery so I don' thave to copy the formulas down. Here's an example file

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
The column on the right is the expected result. I implemented the expected result in excel, now I want to implement it in power query. Sorry that wasn't clear

Yes, post #4 says "or [try this link]" I was hoping for the "either" part not the "or" part as reading that link involves a level of power query mastering in includes creating a udf, passing the same table and other parameters, getting back a number. I presume it self casts to a primitive, hard to tell and then using that number. I don't know if this is all true, but looking at the amount of interest surrounding this topic, I guess this is an esoteric use case that isn't just easily implemented. Could be worse, could have to use a cursor or scala. Actually scala is easier.

I don't know how to add text to that prior picture, I'm trying to implement the "owe" column and you can see how the column was calculated.
